King Ferdinand concluded: Ave Impactor Caesars et sez victor et glorious es," and continued (still speaking in Latin) "The people of the Esat salute thee, bringing to the oppressed, pro- sperity and salvation.”

The Kaiser replied in flamboyant sentences, congratulating King Ferdinand on pressing "the good old claims and smoothing the way of Bulgaria to a glorious future, thus adding one sublime leaf of glory to another. He expressed his deepest gratitude to the Almighty that he was able to press King Ferdinand's band in this historic spot and to listen to his words-bis determination to fight for a successful and lasting peace.
